1861  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to invest in ICO more safely? Checklist on: January 31, 2018, 05:43:55 PM
Nice work typing this all up. Its a jungle out there.

You might want to include the % of tokens up for ICO vs total supply as something to analyze (maybe add to the hardcap part). Some ICOs go very far in obfuscating what part of the pie you are actually getting. An ICO with a 15 million USD hard cap might look nice until you find out only 5% of total supply is going towards the ICO and 95% to management. So look at hard cap, total supply and % of tokens up for ICO. Also look at what will happen to the remainder of the tokens.

Very true remark. This is really worth paying attention to and I will add this item to the next version of my list.

I've been thinking. A person may be the choice of the ICO to buy tokens or to participate in the bounty company. The criteria can vary greatly. Many of the principles are universal, but I think that article is written just for buyers tokens. If a person wants to purchase a token,he doesn't need to think about it. Can you write a short article with tips for bounty hunters? I think you have something to say about it.
There will be no big differences between buying tokens and participating in bounty campaigns. If you consider your time is money then you need same criteria to be checked for both.

Unfortunately people are ready to spend their efforts anywhere but they do concern about their money alone with more care. We can analyze any ICO for taking participating into bounty campaigns by using OP's methodologies. Always double check any new project before you investing or supporting them. That will help you for avoiding scammy and less potential projects.

It is very simple to become a trader it is to certify you that you know what are you are doing in trading. There are a lot of people who call their self as a trader even they are just losing money in investing due to malpractice. Some are just putting their money in trading yet nothing comes back to them. To become a certified trader we must read articles about trading, watch videos how trading goes and ask opinion from friends who are already in trading industry. In short we must be equip first all the necessary skills and information to call our self as a trader.
Well every expert is onced a student and everyone may start in a verry simple way of learning i think if we want to become a good trader someday we must learn trading today in a  verry simple way i believe that we can all become a trader if we have wanted ,if others can do we can also do the same because we are all gifted we have the same brain and the same ability to understand things.
Everything has proper methodology for getting expert into that field and same is the case here in trading in the crypto world. We need to keep in mind that for touching the top most step of the ladder, you need to start from the bottom most.

This is not the way that you think about becoming the trading expert and the very next day you are one of them. It takes a lot of hard work and patience, plus a proper strategy for becoming one.
When we will be having more interest in one particular field then we can develop our knowledge so easily. I mean to say our interest is the key factor here.

When we will keep trying into something, over time we will be gaining all possible knowledge and experience. If God's grace, if we happen to have any guides then we can easily gain more knowledge and after that knowledge we can easily gain relevant experience. I'm not particularly talking about trading field but it is always applicable to trading field too.

First we must develop interest into trading after that we can easily end up in finding lots of guides due to big thanks to youtube and blogs. After that it will be matter of our hard work. If we keep showing more interest on grooming ourselves as professional trader then we can become so in more quicker time itself.
1863  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do I have to learn in trading? on: January 31, 2018, 12:19:16 PM
I suggest you to follow some trading signal, sometimes their prediction can be your extra information to help you to decide
I do not agree for following others' signal. Because it may lead to disasters as no one could be perfect and if some delay happens for signals to arrive then the possibility of making profits also will be decreasing. Having own analysis to generate signals must be the right way. Learning technical analysis and then generating signals is not too hard task for anyone.

I'm a complete newbie but I am eager to learn how to trade and make some good profits can anyone help me so that I won't make many mistakes in trading? Any Tips?
If you dig this forum and this section, there could be thousands of similar topic and people have already suggested many effective ways on how to learn trading and how to excel in trading. Please try to find them and make use of them instead of waiting for someone to suggest here. (also better lock this topic, if you find your results).
1864  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is the main reason for the bitcoin price? on: January 31, 2018, 11:44:22 AM
- There is still many fud like many claims tether not holding enough USD in their bank account which if true can add more panic in the market.
- Different unofficial announcement about possible ban in crypto trading in asian countries
- Many whales are trying to get cheap bitcoins before pumping it hard, weak hands are selling their coins to whales because of panic
- New investors have fear of loss and they are just waiting for FOMO to kick in so they can start buying.

Just hold what you have and keep buying what you can at current correction.
But I'm not seeing OP is not concerned about what are the reasons for the recent downfall of bitcoin prices. Still, the reasons you have mentioned are happening throughout the years but bitcoin keeps appreciating among those FUDs. So I'm not ready to bother about these things in any negative way.

Because  news or futures or ...etc^^?
Because of us. Yes, we are the reason why bitcoin is getting its value. We speculate about the future uses of bitcoin hence we are ready to spend for bitcoin to hold them (as well for present applications like using bitcoins as a currency right away). So, it is getting its price.
1865  Economy / Speculation / Re: What will be the bottom(for you)? on: January 31, 2018, 11:12:38 AM
It could be somewhere in the $7500 ranges but worse, it could even lead to $5000 a pop. There are not enough motivation for the markets to push the price upwards and all the breaking news globally are focused on the
South Korean government's crackdown on cryptocurrencies and whatnot. The overall sentiment of the market is not that good and almost everyone is on full bearish mode, and the bulls couldn't keep up with the momentum of the former.  The next few days will be a bloodbath--hell, it could last even weeks--until something good comes up.
Other than some government's regulations on crypto currency, crypto people are focusing into switch their investments from bitcoins to some other altcoins. This plays major role why bitcoin prices are falling down whereas some coins are gaining momentum. Honestly, I'm too looking for some positive news for bitcoin ecosystem which will be the only savior to make bitcoin prices to bounce back. It may be implementation of lightning network or adoption of bitcoin payment system by any market giants. I want it to happen well in advance before market sees some worst situations.
1866  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC could go down to $5,000 on: January 31, 2018, 10:42:33 AM
BTC could go down to $5,000. What do you think?

It could obviously go down to $5000 or less. Why couldn't it? Anything is possible. If the people continue to sell into the FUD, then there will be a much higher chance that the bitcoin price could completely collapse down to $5k within a few months.

Though I think even though it seems like it's going that way, in reality we're probably getting ready for a rebound very soon.

I know that it seems crazy to say that in such a bearish market, but the $10k support has been tested numerous times and never has it failed the investors. Even today's crash didn't bring bitcoin under $10k for long, and when it did, it recovered quickly.

So in reality, even though bitcoin could go down to $5k, I wouldn't bet on it happening this year.
But with respect to current market volume, it will be too hard to get down to $5000 price levels. There will be a need of very big bad news for that. You believe and pray that should not happen.

I agree any price level will be possible because the sentiment of traders is the only force which is driving out the bitcoin prices. But one thing we can be sure about, bitcoin is known for bouncing back to new heights in very quick time itself, so we do not need to worry about any level of lower prices. All we just need to do is, keep the faith and keep on holding our bitcoins.
1867  Economy / Speculation / Re: I missed the boat :( on: January 31, 2018, 10:10:30 AM
I missed to buy bitcoin when it dipped to $9K. Then I missed it again at $10k thinking it might go down to $9k again. And now, I am waiting for $10k but it seems that it will not go below $11k again. I must be the biggest idiot in crypto world Sad
You can see that we have witnessed another dip to $9k yesterday and another opportunities was provided. Currently you can still buy as bitcoin is a bit above $10,000.
We should not just look any price movement as opportunity because that is the major reason why people lose there investment. If bitcoin keep going up there is always nobody buy and vice Vasa but the up and down provide opportunities for those that what to buy cheap and sell high.
It is a humiliating fact that no one will be able to buy at extremely lower price levels similarly no one can catch upper prices to sell. We all need to sail in the wave so that we will not miss any opportunity. I believe whatever prices we are getting below $11,000 are very good prices to enter in.

Right now Bitcoins prices are trading below $10,200 and this must be a very good buying level because many people are speculating bitcoin will be having new all time high prices in coming months. It means we can double our capital by buying right now and holding for very few months. So, we never need to worry about missing out any opportunity as bitcoin markets are always keep giving enough opportunities to buy more bitcoins.
1868  Economy / Economics / Re: Choosing the one | What I think! - Real Job or Full Time Crypto! on: January 31, 2018, 08:51:20 AM
If you earn well in your full time job and are enjoying in what you doing then you should continue working in it. But if your passion is in cypto currency or related to bitcoin than initially if you require money and cannot immediately leave the job you can work as an part time like on weekend after coming from office etc. As you become more financially strong and your understanding grows then you can switch to cypto currency for full time as per your skills you can choose to be a freelancer, trader, investor or campaign manger etc.
Opportunities from crypto world does not impose any time frame hence anyone can make use of those opportunities at their preferred time after their regular job. So, there will be no point of leaving of regular job for the reason of engaging in to crypto based opportunities as long as the regular job is supporting their life so far.

If a regular job is not capable of supporting leading a decent life, then there will be no point of continuing it whereas crypto world is having unlimited opportunity of earning. But, crypto trading kind of works need lot of experience and knowledge so, it is not recommended to get start with them from the beginning days itself.

If a person switching into crypto world, he must have proper knowledge and idea about where begin with. Unlike real world, we need to be more careful because scammers and hackers are everywhere in this crypto world, so need to be more conscious is more important rather than looking for earning opportunity in crypto currency based opportunities.
1869  Economy / Economics / Re: With Hackers everywhere, How safe is Cryptocurrency? on: January 31, 2018, 08:18:06 AM
Its no longer news that an ICO in Japan has lost over $400 million to hackers. They promised to pay back investors who invested in their ICO. Thsi is a huge loss. After I read that news, I began to wonder. How safe is Bitcoin and Other altcoins? What measures should we take to avoid being hacked ?

Crypto is actually really safe, what's unsafe are the companys holding our money.

You are right,crypto currency are totally safe but we have to keep it in a safe wallet for without being hacked.If you keep you funds in online wallets or in exchanges then no one is resposible if that money hacked.

Crypto currencies are really safe until it kept in a wallet with private key access.
Yes, algorithm based on which the encryption done for crypto currency is always ensuring (at least so far) the security of our of assets.

Breaking that encryption will not be possible for any hacker in near time as it is kind of searching one particular sand in beach. Some people do claim that quantum computer will be a threat for the encryption of crypto currencies. But we can be sure like crypto currencies will be switching into new encryption model which will be more secure against quantum computers too. So, we never need to worry on this as there are many developers and experts will be working hard to ensure our crypto currency's protection always.
1870  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the most influential factor that triggers bitcoin prices to fall down? on: January 31, 2018, 07:46:04 AM
Because some investors sell their bitcoin in christmas and new year, the effects the price will drop down. But after new year investors will buy bitcoin after the price drop and it will effects the price come up again. It's a normal situation, just keep bitcoin for your future and you will see the profit you get it.
Yeah mate you are right the fall in bitcoin prices are because of people selling their coins for sake of profit and I think there is nothing wrong in it people invests into bitcoin to make money and when they sell it is convention its prices come down and I am sure this time down prices are the best one for the people to buy as much as they can and those who will obey this rule they will be the richest people in next 5 to 6 years.
We cannot do anything about this as many people are psychologically setting some target for their bitcoin saving. When they are reaching some big price levels then they prefer to book profits instead of continuing holding their bitcoin saving. I believe this is what happening with bitcoin prices right now as people are booking profit even they are actually not preferring to do so.

When bitcoin prices are falling down, people changing their mind and want to secure their profits so that they can buy back more number of bitcoins for the same investment, they have actually engaged with the bitcoin earlier.

There could be thousands of reasons for bitcoin prices to fall down now a days. But one probable influential factor must be sentiment of common people.
1871  Economy / Economics / Re: Will bitcoin effect the current economy system? on: January 31, 2018, 07:12:44 AM
I don't know if bitcoin effect the economy system, may be yes for the country who legalize bitcoin but bitcoin can't give effect for the country who not accept bitcoin. I just know if bitcoin give big impact for bitcoin users to improve their financial problem and make their lives easier especially in transactions.

It will effect in terms of those investors who are trying to invest more in digital that in regular stocks in their countries, some country like China may have a agenda regarding this matter since it may lessen their potential investors and will shift to ICO.
Basically when the money is moving out from regular traditional investments into crypto currency, then obviously we can expect some big impact in to a country's economy system. Probably already happening with many countries as we can witness huge money inflow into crypto currencies which are supposed to be into their share markets, gold and real estate investments.

But from one country's perspective, they cannot do any big regulations regarding this because it is basic public preferences like they can risk their money wherever they are preferring to. Still, government may come forward to impose many regulations against crypto currencies but we can expect public alone will be winning at the end because a country is nothing but its population.
1872  Economy / Economics / Re: How do I get bitcoin? on: January 30, 2018, 06:42:24 PM
I mostly follow the signature campaign to get bitcoin, because this is the most effective and easy way, besides we can get bitcoin we can also get a lot of knowledge about everything that exists in this world. and there are still many ways to get bitcoin through mining, investing, we can also buy bitcoin at certain supermarkets that have sold bitcoin and can also get bitcoin by gambling but look negative on people's eyes. trading is also a very effective way to get bitcoin
There are lots of opportunities in Bitcoin community,  especially here on bitcointalk. I see some people that even post about jobs they have to be done,  especially at the services and the altcoin marketplace section. So if you have skills like engineering or writing skills,  you’ve got lots of opportunities here. You can also do signature campaigns,  trading and other forms of investments.

After bitcoin is gaining significant values, we are not making same amount of bitcoins what we did just one year back. But fortunately we are able to higher USD amounts. That is really a nice thing except we are unable to save good amount of bitcoins for future.
1873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Shyness in gambling on: January 30, 2018, 05:41:47 PM
But online? I don' think so, you are not playing against someone, there's no element in shyness present in there.
I guess you have not experienced online gambling with group of your friends. If you try once then you will always prefer online gambling only with your friends. While we are gambling with our friends there will be a possibility of shyness even with online gambling. Because gambling alone is something different and gambling in front of our friends is completely different experience which will push two different behavior with the reason of someone is watching which may lead to shyness too.

But, some don't care kind of gamblers, gambling in front of others will not impact them. But honestly I'm not that kind of gambler and I do have different feeling when I do gamble in front of my friends.
1874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Gambler's way on: January 30, 2018, 05:03:13 PM
Gambling is all about the mind game and statistics are really fantastic for being successful in this field. However you are not accompanied with luck every time. Mathematics can help you day and night and it can make your game strong but ultimately you are ending up with being dependent on luck for your success and profit. Gambling is not a source of income so better is to leave it.
Mathematics might able to help you out but most of the time we do really fully rely on our luck.This is why minding these kind of strategy would really be pointless when we do play games which arent really necessary to use up this method. Probability of effectiveness is there but we should not really be confident or do strongly believe that it should work.
There could be thousands of factors like mathematics or superstitions or strategies but nothing will work when we mostly require them to bail out us. That is the reason we do call gambling is truly based on luck based and gamblers way should be based on luck factor otherwise there would be no positive results we can enjoy.

Probability theory is somewhat similar to what we are experiencing in the name of luck factor. Something may happen or may not happen that is what luck factor is defined which is also suitable for probability theory.
1875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever stopped or removed from casino on: January 30, 2018, 03:39:19 PM
Yeah something similar has also happened to me when I tried to visit a fancy casino at the coast.
I was just wearing shorts and a t-shirt and the bouncer wouldn't let us in, felt pretty bad at the time but oh well...

Luckily there are a lot of casino's that just don't have any dress code, so it's not like you can't go to any casino in a casual outfit.
Dress code for the entertainment place ? Too strange for me. We are not having any casino here hence it is completely news to me. We are having on amusement parks and theaters where no one bother about dress code (given that minimum dress code). But I feel your experience must be much better because you got blocking at your entry itself. The worst case would be, got allowed to enter and after that they will be emphasizing to leave. It is mandatory to know all the regulations well in advance, particularly it is very important for tourists.
1876  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do we need to gamble? on: January 30, 2018, 02:40:43 PM
We need to gamble to feed up the wants of our souls to gamble, we think that we can earn happiness from it which is we do earn but temporal. I gamble to double my money or to lose it with the reason that I'm a risk taker. I love gambling but not  to gamble a huge amount.
But, we must think about what would have been doing if gambling was not at all introduced to us. Because, we just need some reason why we need to gamble even we are not finding what we are actually looking for. Honestly I'm not finding any big happiness out of gambling but big frustration alone the result for most of the time after I close my gambling.

We gamble because we have money, we need to gamble to waste/spend or earn money.
That is the right point. We have money and we do not have self control so we are getting into gambling. When we do not have money we go for loan to continue the gambling. Gambling is the source of all the troubles. Unless we understand this fact, we may go back to it.
1877  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Huge Buy and Sell walls at the same time ?!?? on: January 30, 2018, 02:10:19 PM
One thing I've learnt is never to pay attention to these walls.

Most of the time they are pulled. And even if they aren't pulled and they fill it doesn't tell you much.

Basically tells you there was someone who bought ALOT and someone who sold ALOT. But who is correct?
No you can pay attention to make your predictions more accurately given that you are having high-speed Internet connections because only when the sockets are getting struck you will not be getting proper update on buyer or seller volume information. Otherwise, these are very good informative tool for every trader.

Many times I have noticed, these information will not get updated and we can see same price levels for both buying and selling. Later I have found these are all delay in socket. Even they will be having very good Internet connection still there will be no guarantee that we are getting updates on every second. That is one of practical problem, we may face some times.
1878  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What's the worst trading decision you've ever made? on: January 30, 2018, 12:10:59 PM
I have made several mistakes but all cannot be termed as worst mistake as I have managed to turn some mistakes into profits or neutral either by holding or by staking if the coin is POS. One notable worst mistake is, I bought 100k doges for 100 satoshi for the target of 125 satoshi but now it is trading around 60 satoshi, I am still holding.

Recently I bought a coin by misinterpreting the name of the coin. Some exchanges are not showing full name of the coin like some exchanges are providing ANN link of the coin so that we can double confirm that we are going to deal what coin.

whats the best way to get the knowledge in this field ?
thank you

Traiding must be started from good education. Find useful content that will explain to you how to do this business. This video tells us about the best trading strategies:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ-KTx2ty18
Thank you for sharing an useful video link. I have come across many such kind of video tutorials but just learning from those resources will not help any trader to shine in trading. They are all just launching pad from them we can get the basics on how to start trading but definitely will not help to make good profit from trading.

After learning from such type of videos, we must spend time to practice in trail accounts. That is more important to gain proper knowledge and experience on how to trade profitably.
1880  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Chart Time For Day Trading? on: January 30, 2018, 10:30:55 AM
What is the best chart for day trading?

5, 15, or 30?
1 min seems too short.
each of them give slightly different results and are kinda confusing.
what would you recommend for a beginner.

I am using EMA 13 and 34, MACD, and RSI.


Thanks.
Usually when you are choosing longer time chart, confirmation you will be getting will be more stronger. Usually I do prefer to follow 4 hours chart because it will be giving very significant trend change and you will not get disappointments on small noises. Because, market will always fluctuate and when you are following smaller time frame then you will get misguided by any short-term fluctuations which may be leading into losses.

Other than time frame, you must follow combination of strategies so that you will get double confirmation which is more important than following any fixed time-frame chart.
